TIme:

Only change a couple lessons at a time Baby Steps- 3-4 projects a year Many times technology integration frees up time for teachers to work with students one on one Small project to digitize a project Specific number of lessons a year Built in training time for teachers vs voluntary training time

Curriculum Policy

Look at standards as part of the recipe, not the end result/product Mandate projects or lessons plans incorporating this? or get teacher buy in Change the mindset: are we here for the students, prepare them for the future Filtering: keep expressing the usefulness of the site/tool to education Best practices in classroom, being responsible as teacher and student Create grade level tech requirements Integrate PBL into the curriculum areas in a managed way- develop-teach-reflect-revise Continued support- not abandoning initiatives Align web resources to the "script"/curriculum for teachers to save work for them

Resources

Be a resource Provide support for teachers to reduce reluctance- is it lack of tech skills, fear? Create and invoke resources available Provide tech resources for interested teachers Clarification of rules/laws that guide internet filtering and student email use Provoke change in thought regarding "lock-down" of sties/accounts Give teachers a place where they can find PBL projects to implement in their classroom Eliminate obstacles like network blocks

Classroom Management

Establish procedures & consequences for inappropriate use Reward exemplanary Work with teachers that are comfortable to build a model for others to manage use of technology in class Educate teh students on proper use of email, why it is provided for them in school and that it can be taken away if abused

Funding Demonstrate the value of technology integration to civic groups to build support for Initiatives Community involvement (&thinking) to assist in monetary support of technology Contract local media to report on initiatives to build community support Use donorschoose.com Yes, it means less reliance on textbooks Budget shirfts to provide for tech Use of a % of budget for tech support and content areas

Equipment

Funding money for equipment Create a website where schools can connect with the community (local and globally) to get materials Work with admins to find creative ways/grants to gain additional equipment and maintain existing equipment Invest in infrastructure Work in co-curricular ways to have students be able to use computers more often Search for cost efficient solutions like virtualization Provide training when new equipment arrives, online tutorials and examples of how to use it in the classroom

Best Practice

Make the teachers job easier Provide examples of successful projects to incite ideas Have successful projects done by a teacher in the building presented by the students at a faculty meeting Meet with teachers individually to discuss needs and wants

Admin Support Get administrators onboard to help get teachers buy-in Communicate with admins Have support system in place to help teachers Talk to technicians & admins about unblocking sties Create presentations to admins to persuade them to change or adopt procedures and practices Consistency Take the stress off teachers regarding standardized tests Celebrate successful lessons Show board and admins the benefit of new technology and how it will prepare students for post-grad activities Demonstrate "labor saving" programs to reluctant teachers to build support Top down pervasive vision Educate admins regarding the benefit of email Model expectations and use TAC meetings at IU- have tech directors who do open up technology educate others Convince teachers and admins. that standards can be addressed in 21st century learning environments Every other year evaluations to promote innovative classrooms State needs to give administrators a clearer vision of what CFF is all about. It isn't just hardware.
